Description
Birbant (pronounced ‘beer-bunt’; Polish for ‘bon vivant’) contract brewery was established in 2013 by Jarek and Krzysiek (a.k.a. Kuli), two brewers and beer enthusiasts. Jarek is a professional brewer, who’s worked with several different breweries, while Kuli started brewing at home in 2003 and in the ten years before Birbant many of his home batches earned him awards at homebrew competitions. In their own words: “We have worked together on new recipes for a few years now. Our goal is to make flavorful and exceptionally aromatic beers we would like to drink ourselves.” Browar Zarzecze

Bottle at home. Aroma is crisp fruity oily hops, peach, grapefruit, tropical fruits, hint of pine, onions and garlic, with light biscuit malt. Flavour is light sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Fruity and hoppy with dank onions and garlic. Crisp peach and grapefruit. Good one.

Bottle at home. Aroma is soft biscuit malt, mild citrus, hop oil, fruity notes, some melon, touch of dimethyl sulfide. Flavour is moderate to medium bitter. Body is around medium, feels a bit weak, undercarbonated. Messy beer, its obviously hoppy but doesn’t deliver on all the aromatic qualities the hops should provide.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Roasty and hoppy aroma with notes of chocolate, pine, roasted malt, fruity hop, touch of coffee, citrus. Flavour is nicely bitter, body could be better as it feels a bit thinnish.

Can. Near clear deep amber beer, short lived pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. A fairly thin malt base, mouthfeel wise, a little richer on the taste buds - mild caramel and toffee. A vibrant and strong apple flavour goes well with the malts, toffee apple - apples. Smooth cinnamon into a decent bourbon soaked ripe fruit thang. Hmmm, take a dessert Barleywine and barrel age it! Why the hell not? This works very well and combines those elements effortlessly.
